In the play of life, all Hikaru Takabayashi wanted was to be part of the scenery. But ever since she transferred to the prestigious all-girls' Seika Academy, Hikaru has been living in the spotlight, with scandal on every side! Hikaru's crush on her sexy teacher Ayase is getting steamier, but there's more to this older man than meets the eye. When her roommate Izumi intervenes, is the cross-dressing idol acting out of concern for Hikaru—or romantic jealousy?

I stand by the unhealthy relationships this series has, but at least things are getting interesting. Like a really bad soap opera.

Today I have a very nice manga for you. It’s a perfect dormitory romance with gender bender. Normally I do not really enjoy gender bender mangas, and if I come around one, I usually avoid. But then I have many that are my favourites. And this one is a perfect example.

I enjoyed this story a lot. Every character had a unique story to tell, and I liked reading about all of them. Definitely my favourites were Hikaru, Izumi and well Ayase-sensei too. Though the last one disappointed me a lot. However, if he didn’t dump Hikaru, she wouldn’t have realized her feelings for Izumi, this story was a lot similar to Charming Junkie. The main male characters both have to cross-dress as girls and work in show biz world. However, here, Izumi was action as a man. I mean it, he never let go of his manly side and he always makes Hikaru remember it.

There are many moments when his secret is at stake and Hikaru is always by his side. About Hikaru, I greatly enjoyed her character. She was very real, her shyness as well as her personality that she developed after being bullied. We get to see how she overcomes her fears and how she blossoms into a beautiful flower. Was Izumi’s secret found out in the end? As if I’ll tell you that. You have to read it for yourself. And you’ll love the ending, though if you ask me there should have been the at least more chapters, with just those two. But well we get what the author thought was necessary.

I hope you’ll find some time to read this great manga. It teaches us a lot and we get to see a lot of character development. There are many fun moments, but there are also many serious ones too. Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promos. Don’t miss your next favourite book or manga! Happy reading!

And now they're even kissing... I really have to make up my mind about this student-teacher relationship. In the past, I really didn't mind - as long as they kept it decent - now... it's different.

Anyway, Hikaru's now acting in a movie, and she has bullies all around them. Fortunately, Izumi is always ready to help her.

I'm really happy I bought this series!

Another volume showing some growth in Hikaru. She's really starting to stand up for herself more.

Still just not enjoying the push of the teacher/student relationship.

Aged like milk on the reread. I probably missed something as I last picked up the series months ago.
